Bad Place for New Grads to Learn and Grow
Software Engineer • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
October 13, 2022
Pros: - WLB (You can usually take the day off early for doctor's appointments)
- Stable job
Cons: - So much legacy technology; like no one uses XML in Spring anymore.
- There is definitely racial bias when it comes to promotions, favoring white employees over people of color, so it's not a meritocracy.
- Lack of career growth.
- The company is very much against WFH, so if you're looking to work remotely, look elsewhere (they'll prefer you to be on disability for a few years rather than working remotely).
- Too much office politics and too hierarchical.
- Managers working on their own careers instead of the careers of their reports.
